    Barbara Mack Passed Away

    B Mack was great. Had her for two of my 400-level JL MC classes back in 2005 and 2006. Easily came away better from both of them. Now working as a writer full-time after a few years in PR, I probably have had to think back to her classes more than any other. She wasn't mean to be mean. In fact...

    Eric Hudson and Al Murdoch Leaving for Turkey

    I'd imagine Hudson will be the first option in goal. Sometimes at this tournament, they switch it up in the goalies. Can't deny the way he's played of late. Murdoch isn't the head coach though. Dave Debol from Michigan-Dearborn is. Murdoch is listed as the General Manager, which means he'll...

    MLB: White Sox and Dunn Reach Agreement...

    Small-ball in Chicago is nothing more than a myth really. As much as Ozzie would love to say his team plays small ball, they've never finished lower than 6th in the AL in HRs since he was manager. This deal solidifies two needs for the Sox. For one, it fills the need for a lefty power hitter...

    New forum on CF

    Chris, thanks for starting this forum! I think there are more than a few Cyclone Hockey fans out there excited to learn more about one of the most fun experiences you can have at ISU. The hockey student section is among the best I've seen at any level of college hockey. We used to have some...

    Penn State to Add Division I Men's Ice Hockey

    Indeed. The information coming out of the official announcement is a big wake-up call to the cost. Now, PSU is really going all out here. They literally had one person buy them a hockey team. I don't think other programs at smaller universities would be as expensive, but it would be incredibly...

    Penn State to Add Division I Men's Ice Hockey

    Sorry about that Tornado man... Haven't been on the site in a while. Either way, its official now. The plans are available for anyone to see. Here is the official announcement. Penn State University Official Athletic Site - Ice Hockey

    Penn State to Add Division I Men's Ice Hockey

    I would not suggest Hilton as a viable option. I think a new rink would have to be built. I'd love the Well if it was closer. I know Des Moines is not far, but if you have a University sport, its got to be on that University's campus to make it worth while. I'm watching Penn States presser on...

    Penn State to Add Division I Men's Ice Hockey

    Also just found out that with the addition of Penn State, the sixth Big Ten school to add hockey, the conference itself will make hockey a B10 sport. Odds are, Illinois and Indiana (both of which play in ISU's current CSCHL conference) will be the next to add the sport. That's only speculation...

    KXNO . . two questions?

    Having worked with Chris on a sports debate show at one point in a former life, like a long time ago. Ya know, when we were Greenlee students I can tell you a few things, Ross. First off, this guy knows a lot about a lot of things. Not just Cyclone Sports. He is opinionated and uses his words...

    Penn State to Add Division I Men's Ice Hockey

    According to USCHO.com Penn State will be adding NCAA Division I men's ice hockey, with the announcement coming tomorrow. This is perhaps the most significant thing to happen to college hockey in the last decade. It will become the second largest school to offer hockey as a varsity sport. Why...

    Upgrading the Hockey Program Makes More Sense Than Bringing Back Baseball

    Hey! We're talking about this again!? This might get a little long. Anyways... Here are my thoughts on this whole thing. Conference realignment rekindled my love for this topic in a big way. Chris can tell you, that this has been a passion of mine since I was a junior at ISU and this is...

    Hockey: Cyclones in National Championship Game

    Can't say enough about how proud I am of the hockey team. This is a big time accomplishment to get to the national title game. They will have their work cut out for them with a very very good Lindenwood team, but this might be a team of destiny. The ways that they have come back in their games...

    Iowa vs Iowa State Hockey

    This series is always a lot of fun. It's probably been going for the last six years or so and ISU has dominated. There are usually a couple of fights to get the crowd riled up too. If you get a chance to go...do it. No matter what the sport, its always fun to watch Iowa State beat up on the...

    ISU Alums - Your favorite professor at ISU

    I've also got to go with Dirk Deam, as well Poli Sci was my DAC at ISU and I absolutely loved his classes. So much so that I got him three times for very different classes. He challenges students and doesn't let anyone off easy. I never have felt better than when I got A's in his classes. He's...

    ISU Has Hockey But Not Baseball?

    Thanks for sharing that email. I think Pollard is right... ISU has carved out a great niche with the hockey team. I think that what it is right now works incredibly well for the school. The team is a national power at the ACHA D1 level which includes schools like Penn State, Illinois, Arizona...

    I'll be watching from Ann Arbor, Michigan. Get home from a meeting at 8 p.m. ET. Just in time to watch the opening of a new season. Nothing better.

    If you could add one sport

    Alright, first let me say I love baseball and would love to see ISU have it back. But I can say without a doubt that if ISU ever brought hockey to the NCAA Division I level people would go and the team would be successful. SEE: Des Moines Buccaneers/Waterloo Black Hawks/Cedar Rapids Rough...

    The Office

    I'm getting in on this waaay tooooo late. Love the office and my favorite line is: "Lord, Beer me strength" And I will go out on a limb and say Toby is the most underrated character on that show...the christmas episode where dwight takes his robe away... awesome. But...the best TOBY line...
